Not many years ago nobody had heard about music downloads and free music was nothing but a dream. When we wanted to play music we had to listen to radio, watch TV or go to the Music Store and buy our music which meant; long playing records (abbreviated as LP), extended playing records (abbr. EP), single playing records (with a and b sites though) or CDs. Time has changed. The popularity of online music downloads has soared in recent years thanks to devices such as the iPod and cell phones which can now play music everywhere you go. Unfortunately as many avid music listeners know the costs of subscription music services can add up quick. Thanks to underground music sites which offer free downloads of independent artists and bands there are alternatives to taking a bite out costs.

These sites offer downloads of free music at no cost with no gimmicks or strings attached. Many artists just getting started view the Internet as the best way to promote their music and setup sites or join existing ones to help spread their bands unique style or message. Even popular artists you may already know have jumped aboard and offered selections of their music for free in order to thank fans and promote upcoming new releases.

Many are concerned about legal implications of music downloads because of recently news reports about illegal downloads. However with underground sites the songs are perfectly legal and made available to all. In fact the term “underground” refers to using alternative methods, such as the Internet, to distribute the music and has nothing to do at all with illegal downloading.

The best feature of all is that some of these underground artists will be tomorrow’s biggest stars and you can enjoy their early music and help spread their songs to friends and others. So fire up those iPods, crank up the media players and head to the underground for some of the best music available online at absolutely no charge.

Do we listen to music when we are in love and we are happy? No, we usually don’t. We then listen to the music of our hearts that beat in tune to the one beloved.

We listen to songs about love when it is bad times for our love or when we are lovesick.

Pragmatically the musicians know that songs about suffering love are the most money-making. The reason is that people need somebody to be present near them in times they’re in love grief, for somebody to articulate their suffering. It is called empathy in psychology. This is the process when somebody shares the same feelings as you do. Musicians are psychologists. They cure our souls with their music.

On the other hand: too much of sad depressive music catalyzes of your sufferings. Some bands even “advise” their addressees to jump off the roof. Think one has to perceive that very figuratively. Such suicidal motifs might be mostly found in the repertoire of “Muse”.

The lexicon of the songs about love is also so crammed with the words like “broken”, “hurt”, “heart”, “only you”. “Radiohead” uses also the word “bruise” as the alternative. And the pronoun “you” is the most widely used.

The saddest thing is that everybody whoever listens to a song about love imagines oneself at the place of the singing one and always wants to address the one he/she loves but is unable of that.

Still, songs about love prove that this feeling is not only the chain of chemical reactions. It is more than that…
